Our inspiration for picking up the camera has and always will be our couples. Katrina and I have been fortunate enough to not only have these people accept us to document the most important day of their lives, but also to accept us to be their friends and family. Your stories are our life.

Brandon started his photography career in college when he joined the school newspaper. A passion for capturing real moments and telling the story led him to become the photography editor and win several awards for his coverage within only a year. Shortly afterwards he began shooting weddings with Katrina using this same style. The rest is history.

Mimi + Jeff

Mimi and Jeff have a big heart and it shows with how they treat their friends, family, and their dog “Ho Ho.” Despite meeting them just once we were already invited to their rehearsal dinner where we had the chance to meet their closest guests. In fact it was the same place where Jeff’s parents were married years ago.

What happened on the wedding day was a flurry of emotion, love, dancing, and plenty of drinks. The party at the Luxe Hotel Sunset actually ended up being one of the wildest nights we have ever witnessed. We also brought our very own StudioBooth, an open air photo booth complete with photographer. You can check out some of the party here.

Cynthia + Hernan

What attracted us most to Cynthia and Hernan was their intimate relationship. When asked how they spent their free time, their answer was sitting on the couch and watching movies. In fact, that is exactly how Hernan proposed.

Their wedding at the historic Park Plaza Hotel couldn’t have been a more perfect reflection of who they are. They said their “I do’s” standing beside sixty of their closet friends and family on the steps of the warmly lit hotel. For their reception, Cynthia wanted a club feel which is exactly what she got. Colorful lights, confetti, and great salsa drove the party on into the late night.

Randa + Josh

Randa and Josh were married at Soka University where they happened to have met for the first time. We were graced with beautiful light, beautiful people, and a couple whose energy and wit will capture your heart the moment you meet them. Josh is passionate about music and even wrote a song dedicated to Randa which they played during the reception. Throughout the day we constantly felt like old friends with cameras hanging out on their wedding day, which ultimately brings out the best in our creativity. Katrina and I are incredibly fortunate to have had their complete trust and faith in us and we hope you enjoy a few of our favorite images.

Sheryl + Peter

Sheryl and Peter tied the knot in a beautiful Japanese garden under the blue California sky. To mix things up, they decided to plant a calamansi tree together during the ceremony. A filipino cuisine staple and one of our favorite ingredients!

Things got even more interesting during the reception. To get their guests fired up for the dance floor, the couple surprised everyone with a Rock Band performance. It wasn’t long until “Don’t Stop Believing” had everyone jumping and drinking the night away.

Rina + Samir

An Indian wedding is a long journey from start to finish, often spanning multiple days and numerous ceremonies. Katrina and I were lucky enough to photograph Rina and Samir’s engagement ceremony which is actually the first step in the course of the marriage. It is often one of the first times that both families get together. It’s during this opportunity that they laden the couple with jewelry and other gifts. The most important part of the ceremony is the Misri which is the exchanging of rings, signifying the beginning of the festivities to come. Here are a few quick favorite shots at the beautiful Old Ranch Country Club. Enjoy!
